After long calls, the International Army Weapons Exhibition in Paris finally opened. ※%, merchants, tourists and media people from all over the world poured into the Villepinte Exhibition Center, and all exhibition halls were crowded and lively.
The employees of Leima Group are eagerly looking forward to businessmen coming to visit and place orders. But those who came were not merchants, but a group of European media reporters.
"Caiyue, you go deal with them, I'll hide for a while." Xia Lei said and ran away.
Qing Caiyue looked at Xia Lei's back speechlessly, and it took a while before she said something, "You used me as a shield again to make the cows work but not let them eat grass..."
I don’t know what kind of cow she is talking about, and what kind of grass she is talking about.
A large group of European media reporters poured into the exhibition hall of Thunder Horse Military Factory.
Qing Caiyue came forward and said, "Our Director Xia is not here. I am his secretary Qing Caiyue. Do you need anything?"
"Where has Mr. Xia gone?"
"Sorry, I don't know." Qing Caiyue said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."
"Miss Qing, I heard that your company's weapons imitate German designs? Can you talk about it?"
Qing Caiyue was stunned immediately.
"Miss Qing, does the Thunder Horse Group only have these three types of small arms? Some media say that your Thunder Horse Group is a dark horse in the military industry. Is this your hype?"
Qing Caiyue's face turned blue.
"Miss Qing, I heard that your weapons fell into the hands of terrorists and caused huge harm to civilians on the battlefield in the Middle East. Can you talk about what happened?"
Qing Caiyue, "..."
"Miss Qing, why doesn't Xia Lei, the chairman of our Thunder Horse Group, accept an interview? What is he afraid of? Is there any inside story of the Thunder Horse Group that cannot be exposed to the light? Can you talk about it?"
A bunch of reporters, a lot of embarrassing questions. Even with Qing Caiyue's eloquence, she was speechless. But she also understood why Xia Lei asked her to deal with these reporters. The European media always liked to smear China and its companies, so how could they let the Thunder Horse Group go.
It is not easy to get Europe to change its view of China and Chinese companies. If this is the view, one can imagine how difficult it is to open up the European market. This is why Xia Lei avoided these reporters. He knew that this would be the result, so there was no need to accept interviews from these European reporters.
"Miss Qing, why don't you speak? Please answer our questions."
"I don't know." Qing Caiyue was already irritable.
Just as a group of reporters besieged Qing Caiyue, a group of people wearing Arabic robes walked into the exhibition hall of Rema Group. The leader was none other than the caliphate.
Qing Caiyue was worried that she had no excuse to get rid of this group of annoying European reporters. She simply ditched the group of European reporters, went up to them with a smile, and said in English: "Sir, do you need anything?"
The fourth prince of the caliphate looked at it and said, "Where is Xia Lei?"
"We, Director Xia..." Qing Caiyue subconsciously glanced at the lounge behind the booth.
Xia Lei was hiding in the lounge, but she didn't know whether to tell the Arab in front of her.
The door to the lounge suddenly opened, and Xia Lei walked out.
"My friend." The Caliph smiled and walked over.
"Your Highness, long time no see. How have you been lately?" Xia Lei also greeted him with a friendly smile on his face.
His Royal Highness Prince? Qing Caiyue was stunned immediately. She didn't expect that Xia Lei had friends of this level.
But before Xia Lei and Prince Caliph could exchange a few words, the group of European media reporters swarmed over.
"Mr. Xia, why are you hiding?"
"Mr. Xia, are you afraid of being interviewed by us? What's the reason?"
"Mr. Xia, I heard that your products copy German designs. Is this true?"
"Mr. Xia, have you sold weapons to terrorist organizations privately? Have you ever thought about the suffering civilians and children?"
“Mr. Did you send money?"
As soon as Xia Lei appeared, the questions from these European media reporters became even more aggressive.
"My friend, what's going on with these guys?" Prince Caliph frowned, "Do you need my people to help you drive them out?"
"Thank you, but it's not necessary. We can just go and talk elsewhere." Xia Lei said. The European media reporters asked him a lot of questions, but he didn't want to answer any of them. He just treated those questions as farts.
"Okay, let's talk outside." Prince Caliph said as he walked: "You actually know the purpose of my visit this time, right? I want your Cerberus individual artillery."
"No problem. When have I ever refused your order?"
"Haha, then don't tell me. I also need to wait two years before I can get the Cerberus individual artillery."
"How could it be? I will give priority to completing His Highness the Prince's order."
The two of them walked and talked while the group of European reporters followed them and continued to ask embarrassing questions. Even if Xia Lei ignored them, they did not give up.
"Those guys at the back are really annoying. Your Highness, go find my secretary and place an order. I'll deal with them." Xia Lei changed his mind before he had gone far.
"Okay then, I'll go talk to your secretary." Prince Caliph turned around and went to the Thunder Horse Group's exhibition hall.
Xia Lei faced the group of European reporters, "Okay, I'll accept your interview. Please ask your questions one by one, and I'll just open my mouth. I can't satisfy all of you at the same time."
"Mr. Xia, are your weapons copied from German designs?" a reporter asked.
"Please raise your hand. I will answer your question only after raising your hand." Xia Lei said.
The European reporter was stunned for a moment, but before he could raise his hand, a colleague raised his hand and asked a question, "Mr. Xia, did the Thunder Horse Group bribe French officials to be able to come here to participate in the exhibition?"
Xia Lei smiled and said, "You really dare to ask this, aren't you afraid of being prosecuted?"
"France is a country with freedom of speech, and the people have the right to know the inside story." The reporter who asked the question looked upright.
"I can tell you with certainty that there is no bribery involved in the Thunder Horse Group being able to come here to participate in the exhibition."
"How is this possible? Given your scale, no one is qualified to participate in this weapons exhibition."
"Then I can't talk to you. If you have evidence, then report it."
“Mr.
"Your question embarrasses me, but I'm still willing to answer you." Xia Lei pointed in the direction of Rheinmetall's exhibition hall, "Then you are the exhibition hall of German Rheinmetall. They represent the highest level of German industry. , you say that I copied German designs, but I have not received any accusations from Germany, nor have I received any protests from Germany. You say that I copied German designs, but the Germans are not worried, so what are you talking about? urgent?"
The reporter who asked the question was speechless.
“Mr. Those terrorist organizations?”
"Your question is already a very serious accusation." Xia Lei said calmly: "The weapons of our Thunder Horse Group are sold to legitimate governments and companies, never to terrorist organizations. If you have evidence, you can go to The Hague The court sues me and I am happy to take my share of the responsibility."
"But your weapons have indeed fallen into the hands of terrorist organizations. Do you have any explanation for this?" Remember to chase after the questioner.
Xia Lei said: "As far as I know, the largest terrorist organizations active in Iraq and Syria use most American-made weapons, American tanks, American tanks, American rifles, American ammunition, and even American weapons. tank missiles, so can I say that the United States is secretly supporting them?”
"This..." The reporter who asked the question was speechless.
Xia Lei shrugged, "Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I know you won't write good things about me, and I won't let you slander me anymore. You can write whatever you like. What you are best at is also this."
Xia Lei left, but a large group of European reporters were still interested and unwilling to leave.
You can write whatever you like, I don't care.
People have said that, so why bother doing an interview
Xia Lei returned to the Thunder Horse Group's exhibition hall. Qing Caiyue gave Xia Lei a thumbs up, with a particularly cute and sweet smile on her face. Then she came close to Xia Lei's ear and whispered: "Xia Dong, this prince friend of yours wants 20,000 Cerberus individual artillery pieces. This order is too big. I dare not sign it. You should go with it." Let him talk."
Xia Lei was also shocked by Prince Caliph's appetite. Twenty thousand Cerberus individual artillery pieces was not a small order. Based on the selling price of US$50,000 for each Cerberus individual artillery piece, Prince Caliph's order totaled The price has reached one billion US dollars. This order is also the largest single export order accepted by Thunder Horse Group since its establishment.
"My friend, you will not let me down, will you?" Prince Caliph said with a smile.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll sign with you, but I need money, so you have to pay me half of the deposit first."
"No problem, I can pay you now." Prince Caliph snapped his fingers, and an entourage came over carrying his mobile computer.
For the prince of the United Arab Emirates, problems that can be solved with money are definitely not a problem.
As soon as Prince Caliph left, several merchants from South America came to the exhibition hall of Thunder Horse Group.
Argentina wants 10,000 Cerberus individual artillery pieces, 50,000 Gale assault rifles, and 5,000 XL2500 sniper rifles.
Venezuela wants 5,000 Cerberus individual artillery pieces, 20,000 Hurricane regiments that cannot get in, and 1,000 XL2500 sniper rifles.
After sending away the merchants from South America, merchants from the Middle East came again.
Xia Lei's whole body is not feeling well...
So what if the Thunder Horse Group only has three types of small arms? No matter which one it is, it is the most advanced and powerful infantry combat weapon in the world. Large weapons in Europe and the United States are indeed very advanced, but the price is not affordable to everyone, and even if they can afford it, Europe and the United States may not necessarily sell them. But the light weapons of the Thunder Horse Group are different. The light weapons of the Thunder Horse Group are not only cheap but also invincible. Countries in the third world cannot afford large weapons from Europe and the United States, so why not buy more infantry combat weapons of the Thunder Horse Group?
This is actually a development opportunity for Thunder Horse Group!
